The Philosophy of Flight Data Acquisition Systems: An account of the development of flight data recorders and the need for system integration

Abstract

NOT until mandatory requirements in some advanced countries obliged airlines to fit flight data recorders did these instruments become fashionable. The needs of major operators coupled with the prospects of a world‐wide market spurred manufacturers to design and build airborne recorders for flight and operational data collection.
